- Today we're checking out the brand new DJI Mini 4 Pro. In this DJI Mini 4 Pro review, I'll be covering the Mini 4 Pro photo and video quality, the incredible features of the DJI Mini 4 Pro, the Mini 4 Pro's vertical shooting, and then I'll cover exactly who the DJI Mini 4 Pro is for. As this is a small, beginner-friendly drone it doesn't have every professional feature you might be able to find on DJI's other drones but, with that said, the Mini 4 Pro is packing loads of great features along with a wild 30-minute plus of flight time.

Thank you for watching! These photography videos are usually directed at beginner photographers. Take the photography tips and tricks with a grain of salt and try to understand the tips from a beginner photographer's point of view.
I'm considering buying the Mini 4 Pro, it will be my first drone ever. Your review was awesome and nailed the real strengths of this compact overachieving drone. I was always a fan of the mini lineups but the other models just didn't have what I needed. As a beginner, obstacle avoidance was a core feature I wanted and to finally have full 360 degree sensors, this is the first time the mini line has ticked all the boxes for me. As I am in Canada, the 249g is a must for me because I don't want to have to get a drone pilot license, I just wanna take it out and capture some amazing footage and pictures within legal operation. I think I've waited long enough and they have finally reached the point where they meet and exceed all my expectations.
Your describing Spotlight @9:00 - just to nitpick. I agree Spotlight mode is superb- we have it on all 3 caneras on Mavic 3 Pro, and paralax on a subject miles away on the 166mm equivalent 7x is otherworldly!
Great review and stunning footage!
04, Waypoints - which tou can set ginmbal angle, heading and zoom to manual, simulating dual operator mode and change heading during mission, better position accuracy x3 - outside of heavy winds its superb. Oh, and the Backward/Upward sensors allow it to find its way out from under a canopy or obstruction to fly home.
You just Solidified my Purchase!!!!!😄
Just had mine flying today in 25-30 kts with gust up to 40kts and she obviously flopped around in the wind a little but the video was pretty solid. This will handle more wind than most would think. After today my confidence in this drone increased a whole bunch. Super easy and smooth to fly don’t hesitate to buy this just Because of the size
Impressive to say the least!
Thanks Zac. Great job. Much appreciated!!
My pleasure dude!
Thanks for the review, very informative, straight forward and honest. After viewing this video I believe this is a great starting point for me. Thanks again.
Thanks for the review
I have one…just bought it a month ago. I’ve only had one afternoon flying with it because the weather hasn’t been working out. I will say that the one afternoon that I flew it, I was incredibly impressed. It was so easy to fly it was ridiculous! Also the footage was drop dead beautiful. This is a tremendous drone. I also bought the DJI Avata 2 package with goggles and motion controller. I haven’t flown with any of that kit yet but look forward to it. I know it will be a lot of fun as well. Peace!
i really enjoy your videos. keep up the work!!
great drone, makes my livestream WOW
Great video. Will be purchasing. As a beginner do you recommend I purchase any filters with this for photos and videos?
I’m buying this for off-roading. Scouting trails ahead
Great video - thank you for your opinion!
just bought it now, like literally right now. excited to test it out
im gonna buy one next week, is it worth it in your opinion ?
@@sashahart847 it depends on what are gonna do. but for me its all i need. everything works perfect.
Thanks Zac for a wonderful review, very insightful. I bought a Mini 3 pro 2 months before the 4 came out, do you or anyone else have opinions as to whether the 4 is worth a nigh on immediate upgrade having only had the 3 pro a few months, i'll lose some on the 2nd hand market and have to pay out additionally for the 4, new. I love the 3 but I like some of the new features of the 4 but not sure I can justify the upgrade so soon....I see it as my new and exciting hobby that I intend to keep going with so any comments or advice would be really appreciated. South Island NZ.....gotta love it!
good one. greets from switzerland
I just got mine and it's nice get if if you can make sure u get the rc2 remote. Price in us is around 1.2k
You said you're mavic 3 has 10-bit 422, is that right? But the mavic 3 pro apparently does not have 10-bit 422. Are you getting 10-bit 422 in d-log? Or does your drone have Peres?
Wait, I didn't know you had a youtube channel! Long time insta follower here, just bought this drone and was looking for some reviews. I'm happy I found your channel.
Hey dude! Glad to have you over here, it's by far my maiin focus!
Nice footage 😍👍
I also have a dji mini 4 pro - a lot of learning to make good videos!
I'm ready to take the plunge and get A Mini 4 for my first drone. I've wanted one since the days of the original Mavic. You can get so much bang for your buck, at a much lower price point today. I can't wait to get one!
It’s crazy what you can get for your money now hey! Glad to hear you’re going to take the plunge, enjoy it!
Dear Zac - should I upgrade from Mavic Mini 2 - to Mini 4 Pro ? or without extra payments I can switch to Mini 3 Pro ?? Plz can u help with choice ???? Thanks
I feel like I see a difference between your 12MP vs 48MP photo. Fair it’s personal decision but usually more the better right? Great vid
Hi, would I be able to use all the possible features on RC N2 that RC 2 offers along with the mini pro 4? For eg: would I be able to use active 360 tracking on N2 controller, etc? Thanks in advance!
what about the auto focus on still pictures? will it be able to lock onto a bird in the foreground? can i move the auto focus sensor to where i want it in the frame, or is it locked?
Mine will be delivered on Monday. 🎉😮
Would you pick the Mini 4 Pro or the Mavic 3 Classic as your first drone ever? The price difference is not an issue as I can get the Mavic 3 Classic on sale for $300 more than the Mini 4 Pro.
Agree with everything you said about this little drone which I own, except one thing.... the batteries never last anywhere close to 30 minutes. I mean maybe if you just took off and let it hover for 30 minutes without moving it. But if your fly it around at all your actual battery life is about 15-20 minutes maximum. I ended up buying six batteries for this little guy so I could go out and fly it for about 90 minutes at a time. The battery will not last more than 15-20 minutes if you're moving around. Otherwise super, super impressed with it.
Thanks for the feedback dude! Damn, my batteries are doing super well, I believe DJI has 2 types of batteries for this drone that I wasn't aware of. I could be wrong but one is heavier and will last longer while the other one is lighter, will last less time but keeps you under 249 grams...
I’ve never flown a drone,could i buy the mini 4 pro and learn with that or am i liable to probably crash it.
What an educated, articulate and spot on no BS review. Good stuff and thanks mate. Ticked and Subscribed - Go well.
Thanks Peter! Appreciate the kind words 💪

I got the Plus batteries, so it was 270g. That meant I had to get the Remote ID (from Holystone because it was cheap), so I also added a landing leg harness to mount RID under, night strobes(red, green, and white), and a gopro mount. Kitted out it's about 400g, I still get 35 minutes flight time AND I no longer have "wind issues" up to 15 mph with 20 mpg gusts.
For me that was counter intuitive, I expected the added weight to worsen the flight characteristics. The only thing I can figure is torque is much higher than needed and added weight means wind effects it less.
It has remote id built in bud. At least the 3 pro did.
@@ChuckD05 sadly the mini 4 pro is "under 249g limit" by default so no RID in it. It's really not that big of a thing after laying out the amount I did ... ( and I have two accounts, too lazy to change my phone account to match my PC. LOL)
ODD, I'm in the US and my mini 4 pro Has Built in RID.@@grimmliberty7447
After doing a bit of research here, the mini 4 pro is in fact Remote ID compliant out of the box. See page 114 of the manual.
@@swervemotorsports they mean with the standard batteries it does not require a RID module, nor does it transmit anything, I've checked.
Using the plus batteries puts it over the weight limit and requires you add a module.
Capitalise on minor weather winds? How minor is minor in MPH? Would you fly this in winds up to say 30mph?
very nice drone, same for the mini 3 pro
Similar for sure, just some great spec bumps!
@@Watzac agreed
Serious question. I do a ton of traveling and have bought a drone to capture some more videos of the landscape. How do i know if i can record or not? Or where are considered no fly zones?
Always a tough one man! The best thing you can do is research were you are going and follow the local drone laws!
What video editing software should I choose? I'm a complete beginner but will put in the time to learn it. I don't want to choose and waste time when I could have gotten an educated recommendation. Thank YOU.
For me, I'm a premiere guy!
thank you
@@Watzac
Because I'm on the road all the time, with no access to a computer, I use LightCut on my phone. It's super easy with solid results.
The only gripe for me is that with just a little wind the quad shakes all over the place even though the gimble corrects for it. Im wondering whether something is wrong with mine or does everyone experience this. I listened carefully as you talked about the wind stability of the Mini 4 and for some reason feel you held back a bit about this being a downside of the drone. Am I correct in saying that the size of the drone and its stability in even mild wind conditions is problematic. My Mini 3 does not behave this way. Its way more rock solid in the wind. Im trying to determine if I need to send my mini 4 back for DJI to have a look-see at it. Thanks for your review I totally agree with everything else you brought forth regarding the abilities of this drone though but its wind performace scares me a lot. Really wish I could find someone else with one near me so that i could compare performance.
Subbed! Thankyou - can I ask your help? In your opinion is it possible to set this drone to follow you and not have to hold the controller, if I was say walking slowly playing the guitar shooting a music video? I will have my hands on guitar so holding controller tricky. I’d also like it to circle me - is this possible with mini 4 pro? Sorry for the noob wuearjon if this is obvious - thank you :)
What's the tittle of first music track you use?the one that is upbeat
I see jittering in your video footage. Is this an issue or a TH-cam thing?
Trading my mini 3 in for this bad boy
Good move. I got 90% back on Mini 3 Pro so the upgrade wasn't that expensive. Absolutely a must upgrade.
0:24 Please see the scene between 0:24 - 0:27 and please look at the bottom of the screen. What is this intermittent jumping called, and how to avoid this? I can understand low fps in high resolution but this looks like a jerky movement and it’s not constant. Does it happen because of drone, or is it settings, editing or uploading?
I was wondering this exactly too!! I’m glad I’m not crazy. I usually see this with smaller sensor drones and was hoping the mini 4 pro wouldn’t have had it 😔
Seems like a small aperture is counterproductive to wide landscapes no?
I just picked up the Mini 4 Pro fly more drone today. I haven't flown it yet. I will have to confirm all of the wind issues by testing its stability. I purchased ND filters, landing legs. I own 2 other drones the Air 2S and the Zoom both I love and needed a super light weight one I that's easy to pack and travel overseas. I'll come back and report about the wind issue. I'm going to go out on a limb and say stabilization have to do with the motors that are being used in propeller blades. I'm sure the Mini 4 is using smaller blades and motor. It's not fair to expect the drone to hold his own in strong winds DUH...
Killer stuff mate!
hello, what's cooler, 4pro or 2s?
I tried the same tracking with a van and I kept getting subject too small or too far away warning. 🤷
Air 3 is incredible
Get a better memory card for faster write speed. You should always shoot @ 48mp....
Just add weights to it in windy conditions and it wiil chop through fine.

A strange question for most drone pilots, but I’m retired and not interested in photography. Instead I explore with my drones throughout here in rural America. My question is what is the best camera settings for my view from the camera (again, not capturing photo or video).
Leave it in AUTO. You don’t even need to mess with the PRO settings.
Auto settings all the way.
Although you might want to spend $18 on a ND 16 filter to improve the picture and protect that lens.
If we crash hard enough to destroy the lens, we have other more pressing issues.@@Hat_Uncle
@@Hat_Uncle Thanks for the tip!
@@Hat_UncleMy Mini 4 Pro Fly More Plus Combo arrived today! I shelled out another $55.00 for DJI 3 ND filters. Which one should I leave on my drone at all times? The ND 16 or 64?
If i do some Night flights, should i take the ND filter off?
Can I check it in my luggage WITH a battery inside the drone?
Way C2 for rotate camera its on the screen off the remote.
I want to buy M4 for Real Estate work and Inspection, and mappin, I hope 🤞 it will make me some money to upgrade to a better drone like Air 3pro or Mavic 3pro
Fantastic review, but I just gotta poke a lil bit of light fun at you here. "Video...where my standards are *very* high" - *proceeds to film A Roll indoors that is out of focus almost the entire time* XD hahahah I'm sorry, I had to. I'm just messing though. Still a fantastic video nonetheless! Definitely helped me decide to buy a Mini 4 pro! Thanks!
Hahahah thanks man, you wouldn't have believed the run up I had to the deadline of this... Anyway, have a good one dude 🙏
Trust me about the wind conditions. LOL mine got pulled during a gust of wind, and i lost it 💔. GG
Do you have DJI Refresh? I wouldn't be flying mine in really gusty wind or other challenging conditions unless I did.
I do! I had to pay a fee but they sent a brand new one. I wasn't aware it was going to be that windy but it picked up randomly. My fault 100%@@TheSaint226
you DO NOT get 30 min with the battery
wanker no 30 min
bla bla yes the rest of the world, so what are the legal asecet of his i ? I guess you are just reading the specs
You said "super blessed"🤢. I stopped the video immediately.
The Mini 4 Pro drifts badly at night making things like night hyperlapse's useless. The Mini 3 Pro does not suffer from this drifting so the Mini 4 is a downgrade
So, in a single case scenario you determine it's a downgrade? Ok. You must make a lot of money on night time hyperlapse, good for you.
@@Hat_Uncle No need to be like that. I expect the newest release of a product to be as capable as the previous model. The problem is highlighted when using Hyperlapse but not limited to.
Odd you say that. I noticed my air 3 had some drift. More than my air 2s did. I am going to recalibrate everything and see what happens
@@ChuckD05 I've tried recalibrating the compass, the IMU and the RC sticks and still it drifts. DJI support have confirmed this is an issue with this drone and it doesn't sound like they intend to fix it with software updates 😥
Must be a problem with your unit. Mine is fine.
This drone is pure JUNK do not buy. I have had 2 defective drones in 3 days. Screen freezes in flight arms get lose after a week of use. Pure JUNK. Stay away.
Many people would disagree. I certainly do. Sorry to hear of your bad luck.
I got this drone Zac . I’m an amateur though 😅
Great video and content but I just don't get why these comparisons are made. The Mini 4 Pro is the best drone in the world for its size, that it's period.
